Joseph Prince!

New Creation Church, Singapore;

Major Theme and Message "Radical Grace"

(All CHRISTIPEDIA "INSPIRED-INERRANT!" View of Scripture!)

THESIS, TOPIC: Joseph Prince is rapidly becoming the most popular Evangelical Minister in the world! He is young, handsome, winsome, funny, witty, and preaches RADICAL Grace as a RADICAL License to Sin.

This is nothing new and appeared almost immediately. ("Anti-nomianism" this was called in the 1st century - websearch it!)

Not only does God forgive every sin, HE DOESN'T EVEN NOTICE YOUR SIN! (All he sees is the BLOOD of JESUS!) . . . SO WHY PRAY . . . JUST SIN AWAY!

The ANTI-NOMIANS (Anti-God's Law) were fought against by the early Church Fathers: Clement, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and others.

'To Love God with ALL the heart' is the GREATEST COMMANDMENT Christ said. Wonderfully, no one objects to this whether liberal or conservative.

The GREAT POSSIBILITY of ERROR occurs when we define LOVE! How do we KNOW if we love God with all of our heart or not?

Sadly, "POP" Culture Churches define "LOVE" as a "FEELING" which they indue their audience to "FEEL" with much music and emotional stories, illustrations, etc.

Thankfully, Scripture is very clear in Christ teaching the definition of "LOVE":

JESUS SAID: "If you LOVE ME - KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS!"

FACT! Love is NOT a feeling, neither toward God, your spouse, your children or parents or nation or community!

FACT! We often HAVE the presence of feeling concerning people we love, BECAUSE there is often emotion involved, usually positive emotion.

This is good.

However, please know that the "feeling" is NOT the "love!"

LOVE HURTS when your baby is sick and struggling through the night and you really can;t make it better or take the hurt for them!

LOVE HURTS when parents and grandparents are struggling to hold on to life - and again you are helpless to fix it or take their pain! LOVE HURTS EVEN MORE when standing by their casket, then their graveside!

LOVE HURTS when reading of Jesus and His Crucifixion. [IT TAKES SUPREME WILL POWER to make my self read the Crucifixion Story . . . just knowing HOW MUCH HE DID NOT DESERVE IT! . . . and knowing that MY SIN helped put Him on the Cross!]

LOVE HURTS letting your child go out on their own, when they get hurt, when they are jilted by a special friend - even as a grade school student!

LOVE HURTS when your spouse is unfaithful - and you still LOVE THEM . . . even though they are in the arms of another - and you're praying for them to come back to your home and marriage!

LOVE HURTS when the nation you would die for instantly . . . is rejecting God and Mocking His Son, His Name, His Word, His Church, His Mission and His Holiness!

LOVE HURTS: ALWAYS!

But whether Love Hurts or Feels Wonderful - as it usually does . . . LOVE IS NOT A FEELING!

FACT: Not only is "Love" is NOT the "feeling!" . . . but consider that "Lust" produces some pretty strong feelings of it's own! So does "Greed!" So does "Pride!" (and "Envy" and "Hatred!").

So if "Love" is NOT a feeling, then how do we know that we Love God with all of our heart!

New Creation Church is a megachurch in Singapore of which Joseph Prince is Senior Pastor. New Creation Church was founded in 1984 and has a membership of 20,000+ in the New Creation Church Family as of 2011.

Almost all growth was achieved under Pastor Joseph Prince preaching Radical grace!

While New Creation Church - and Pastor Joseph Prince - are charismatic in theology and practice, New Creation Church considers itself non-denominational and is not affiliated to any church overseas.

Even more than charismatic-full-gospel, it is "trendy", "pop-culture", positive psychology, "win-by-being-pretty!", "bless yourself in selfishness!"

NEVER will you hear the great commands to give that Christ practices and commanded His Followers! NEVER!

New Creation Church and Pastor Joseph Prince are members of the National Council of Churches of Singapore.

The official mission statement of the New Creation Church is "to see Jesus in all the loveliness of His Person and the perfection of His work and to make Him known through the preaching of the gospel".

Church Outreach:

According to the church's website, it has been involved in missions throughout the Asian region, and has sent pastors and leaders to countries such as Russia, China, India, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia.

They also claim 10% of the church's budget (USD $4 million a year) is set aside for missionary work. (This was some years ago)

The New Creation Church services are broadcast in countries including Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Australia on various cable television and satellite networks such as USA Network, ABC Family Channel, CNBC Europe, Middle East Television, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Daystar Television Network, GOD TV, United Christian Broadcasters and Australian Christian Channel.

The Straits Times reported that the church has given SGD581,500 to community groups and charities from April 2007 to March 2008.

Place of Worship

The congregation currently worships in the Rock Auditorium in the Suntec City Mall. A new building, called the "Civic, Cultural and Retail Complex (CCRC)" is being planned by Rock Productions, the business arm of the church, together with CapitaLand in Buona Vista.

The church will rent space owned by its subsidiary, Rock Productions, in the complex for Sunday services. The building is envisioned as a "futuristic complex with restaurants, shops and a 5,000-seat theatre", and will cost nearly SGD1 billion.

As of May 2009, the church has raised approximately one third its SGD500 million share of the new building's cost.

Clarifications on Tithe and Offerings

On 15 April 2009, Matthew Kang, the Honorary Secretary of the New Creation Church, posted a reply to The Straits Times on the church's website stating that the New Creation Church was not a public charity and did not solicit public donations.

He asserted that "there is absolutely no compulsion to give whether in tithes or offerings, and any giving is done out of a willing heart", and that "every giver is appreciated and it is taken in good faith that he believes in the elected leadership and will trust them to make good decisions for the particular church he has chosen to attend, whether as a member or a visitor."

Senior Pastor Joseph Prince, born in 1963, is one of the founding members of New Creation Church. He was born to an Indian father and a Chinese mother. He spent his primary school years in Perak, Malaysia.

He eventually came back to Singapore and followed an aunt to church.

He was then a young man dabbling in the occult, but he said that 'supernatural experiences' opened his eyes to Christianity. He attended Commonwealth Secondary School in Singapore and went on to finish his 'A' levels at a private school, Our Lady of Lourdes.

In 1984, Mr. Prince, then president of a youth ministry in a traditional church, and a group of friends were asked to leave the church, which didn’t agree with their open displays of worship.

They then left the church and started their own New Creation Church.

Before he became a full-time pastor in the New Creation Church, he was working as an IT consultant when he changed his name to the current one, Joseph Prince. He is married to Wendy Prince and they have a daughter, Jessica Shayna.

He has a publishing house, and releases books, CDs and DVDs, which are sold at the affiliated Rock Gifts & Books Centre, at secular bookshops such as the Times bookstores and the Harris/Popular bookstores in Singapore, Barnes and Noble in the United States, as well as through Amazon.com.

His latest book, Destined to Reign: The Secret to Effortless Success, Wholeness and Victorious Living, released in Singapore on 15 July 2007, contains teachings from his last ten years of preaching.

The same book was released in the US in October 2007 by Christian publisher, Harrison House. Six months after its distribution in the US, it was listed on Christian Retailing Top 100 Books.

In 2006, Prince was invited to speak at the Grace & Favour Seminar, at Hillsong Church in Sydney and also to Hillsong London to preach at its three Sunday services.

In 2007 and 2008 he was invited to speak at the Hillsong Conference in Sydney held in July and the Hillsong Europe Conference in London held in October.

In 2011 he appeared on Trinity Broadcasting with Matt Crouch, and was later invited to speak at Joel Osteen's Church in Houston TX in November, 2011.

Prince has also been invited to preach at churches in countries such as Canada, Norway, Netherlands, South Africa and Indonesia. Video clips of his preaching sessions are available on the Youtube website.

Salary:

As with many multi-million dollar ministries, the ministries live lifestyles that seem greatly excessive to the lifestyle Jesus lived.

In response to the criticisms - having a great income form book sales - in 2004 Joseph Prince made a request to New Creation Church to stop paying him with the salary. However, his council members did not accept his request.

On 5 October 2008, in an interview with the Sunday Times, Joseph Prince, the executive chairman of the church council, acknowledged that he was "well-paid" but also added that "money doesn't have a hold on me".

He dismissed allegations that his salary was $50,000 a month, saying "It could have been $50,000 if I had not voluntarily taken all the pay cuts through the years.

There was a system of payment that would actually enrich me greatly but as the church grew, I refuse to accept that system of payment."

On 30 March 2009, The Straits Times reported that a check revealed that New Creation Church paid one employee between $500,001 and $550,000 in its last financial year of 2008.

Due to the recommendations of the Code of Governance for charities then, all charities and non-profit organizations in Singapore are encouraged to disclose the salary bands of their top executives to the Commissioner of Charities.

The church did not confirm if the amount in question was paid to Joseph Prince, but it told The Straits Times that its policy is to "recognise and reward key contributors to the church and Senior Pastor Prince is the main pillar of our church's growth and revenue."

The New Creation Church's income was reported to be S$55.4 million for the financial year ended March 2008.

On 15 April 2009, Matthew Kang, the Honorary Secretary of the New Creation Church, posted a reply to The Straits Times on the church's website stating that the New Creation Church was not a public charity and did not solicit public donations.

Kang asserted that "there is absolutely no compulsion to give whether in tithes or offerings, and any giving is done out of a willing heart",

"[A]and that "every giver is appreciated and it is taken in good faith that he believes in the elected leadership and will trust them to make good decisions for the particular church he has chosen to attend, whether as a member or a visitor."

On 7 June 2010, The Straits Times and Channel New Asia reported that Joseph Prince is no longer in church payroll since 2009.
